On April 28, the members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Quebec Region (PSAC-Quebec) white-collar unit at the Aéroports de Montréal (ADM) ratified the tentative agreement entered into on April 14. They had been without a contract since December 19.
“Collective bargaining is never easy, but when we manage to make gains for our members, the satisfaction is immense,” said Sébastien Paquette, Executive Vice-President for PSAC-Quebec.
The new four-year agreement will expire in 2028. It provides for pay increases of 3% in 2025 and 2.75% in 2026, 2027 and 2028.
It also provides for:
- Better and clearer provisions around certain types of paid leave, e.g., one-day leave to attend a Canadian citizenship ceremony, leave in the event of school closures, domestic violence leave
- More flexibility for members applying for a position of the same class
- Better annual leave calculation and quicker vacation accrual
- A $500 healthcare spending account
- A new short-term disability plan fully paid by the employer
- A pilot project allowing employees to take five days of unpaid leave each year
